what do they do for YXC: they presented the youthXchange programme during a conference that took place within the framework of the Geneva's sustainable fair. During this annual event, 20.000 visitors (from all ages) get information about sustainable living.

latest news on YXC: they developped a guide called "The Geneva guide for sustainable living" so that every time the guide is presented, they inform the audience, especially in schools, that they can as well get information in the YXC.

quote: "As we are working on the same objectives, it is just obvious for us that we should cooperate."

future plans for youthXchange: they will organise a course for teachers on sustainable consumption. This is a unique opportunity to get to young people trough the teachers…

what else do they do: Canton de Genève is mainly focused on the promotion of the principles of sustainability. That means working with local community, small and medium size enterprises, consumers, teachers, etc.Find out more on the website.
